Maxman Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Saw this posted on a NFL fan site and thought it was interesting. All of these CAN'T BE TRUE. No way the NFL is this dumb. I am assuming this is a hoax: These are celebration acts that are now deemed "innapropriate" by the NFL: Rule 9-2-1-a-1-a Unsportsmanlike acts. --Imitating a slash of the throat; --Resembling the firing of a weapon; --Bowing at the waist; --Punching one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verde Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I am assuming this is a hoax I believe it. I'm sure refs use their discretion on handing out the flags.

TomShane Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I miss the throat slash move, myself. That was beautiful. I used to love watching a game with my church group, and when Joe Horn would score a TD we'd all do the throat slash. We were bad ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 They should all be LEGAL. Celebrations are fine. I wonder how much $$$ Prime Time would have to pay the NFL if he was still a star and doing his antics in today's game. That being said, I still don't think the refs will call on all of these.

jimfire Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 i myself have no prob with ridding the league of most of those childish celebrations. (a few are a bit much) Just play the damn game. An exciting game with great plays requires no extracurricular behavior. as a previous coach of the younger ones (who watch these idiots) it is very difficult to make them understand when where and who should be doing these assine things. when an 8 year old gets beat in a game he doesnt need to ridiculed, it makes him sad and wanting to return the favor. He wont feel like helping that same kid up after a fall. I for one love sportsmanship. Not lets get to the shackle part! My mind wanders, when both hands are shackled what do you hit the keys with?

jimfire Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Maxman we seem to be on the same page. I did say a few were out of line. i think the perfect type of celebrations is the way our man Curtis handles himself. Very professional and every once in awhile a little more excitable, depending on the importance and of the course the game situation. jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I am a little old fashioned when it comes to celebrations- I like to see the guy hand the ball to the referee after a touchdown instead of all the show boating that goes on. I would have liked to see one of these guys pull their antics in front of someone like Butkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
